cealed in the dry bed of the creek TO release
him. They confronted the Americans and
one of them covered Littlepage with his
rifle and demanded the release of the lieuten-
ant. Sheriff Speed commanded Llttlepage

cles the boys used TO pick up on the march
and the eccentric way in which they'd
tote EN- along to finally adorn some ditch
by the wayside Stragglers were the
worst at this, but all the fellows were bad
enough. Whenever the army went
through first family residence the boys
would capture what struck each as most
attractive, and some of their tastes were
peculiar. They had a great weakness for
cradles. You may ask me what man
treading his way to the front wanted with
a mahogany cradle, and I'm blest if
know, but they took EN-. First one man

next on a soldiers back headed for Peters

and found it again propped up against a

and had somehow strapped the glass 50

We'll, this fellow must have got tired,
for the next day third man had it and
the next a fourth. This chap toted it on
TO the lines at Petersburg. He set it uT
